Through this experience, I learned that Restoration Hardware is truly committed to working with independent designers and artisans. They were sensitive to our limited manufacturing capacities, and stressed that they wanted our product delivered as we designed it: because that's what makes it unique.

Providing such a large number of kits was a huge challenge for us, and one of the hardest projects we've ever undertaken. (You've been wondering why there weren't any new patterns released this summer?) But because we took on such a large order, it forced us to grow and expand in ways that you might not be able to see. Yet.

I want to sincerely thank the people at Restoration Hardware for treating us so kindly throughout this entire process, and for helping us spread the rainbow-colored embroidery love to their customers!
